I had the joy a making this elegant cake for a friend whose parents celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary. My friend Julie was throwing a small bash for family and had been loving some white fondant and metallic silver combinations. We came up with this cake.
The cake was covered in a homemade fondant. The metallic silver bow was a gum paste/ fondant mixture rolled out, shaped, and airbrushed with a metallic food coloring. The 25 on top and silver ribbon around the base are thick cuts of rolled fondant, sprayed silver.
The date was painted by hand onto a rectangular piece of fondant and attached to the cake with clear piping gel.
I am so pleased with how the fondant turned out on this cake. I was able to try some new techniques and am so happy with the final result.
